Home > Consumer Reviews > Escort Solo S2 Cordless Radar and Laser Detector

Received an S2 this past Christmas - if you do not get the receipt from the gift giver you are totally screwed if you need service within a year.
I have one of these in each car and they both needed service and refused even though I sent in the product registration cards. Their records are not up to date. I just ordered a new BEL for this reason. Nice looking unit but miniaturized circuitry not holding up well.

i received this unit as a christmas present and it worked great for 1 month at which time the audio signal went out i called the factory and they said to send it to them with the original receipt and they would repair,i did as they asked and several days later i received a letter from them saying they are going to charge me $59.95 to start repairs because it was purchased through an unauthorized vendor (amazon/electronica direct). i called escort and left 7 messages for the customer service manager to call me , when this failed i called the president of escort 4 times and never received a call back , after 11 messages the customer service mgr. returned my call and did not solve the problem. i then called amazon who solved my problem at once by refunding the entire purchase price .i was looking for another detector and called belltronics customer service line and the phone number was the same as escorts , on to another brand

The device died after about two weeks. The seller was Electronica Direct; they are stalling about issuing a refund, based on the bogus assertion that I supposedly returned it to them without the proper packaging. (It had all the packaging.)

This items is too weak and it eats batteries like no tomorrow. Also the worst is every-time you get in the car you have to turn it on. Its a pain. Get a wired one.

The problem with this unit is not the radar detector itself, which is adequate but not spectacular, but the windshield mount, which is just about useless and very frustrating. I've had it fall down 20 or more times during an hour. Look for something else.
